in Introduce Yourself
I'm a mother to 2 boys, age 6 and 18mths. I'm still nursing the little one. I have 50 lbs to lose. I'm 30 years old, married. I started Intermittent fasting this week, I'm doing 18/6.

Please add if you're doing IF or a mommy to little ones :)

    That ratio works best for me. Dont forget to add in some HIIT workouta. Good luck on IF !

    I don't have time away from my boys, so I struggle to exercise, but my husband and I do lunges, situps, pushups at night after they go to sleep.

    i did 14/10 IF earlier this year which i got on with it quite well, but IF is just an eating pattern its not actually a mechanism to lose weight, its the calorie deficit that does that.

    Great job on doing those workouts with the hubby, it is a great tream/relationship builder. I think it is awesome you are doing IF just please be careful with it because you need daily nutrients for the little one. (I am probably saying something you already know lol but I just needed to say it, just in case) Keep up the great work, you can do it.

    Thank you, I'm also sticking to about 1500 cals, but sometimes go over. I'm striving for consistency rather than perfection right now.
